Chapter 835: Ten Suns in the Sky
A line of text appeared in front of Lu Yao’s eyes.
【3/9 of the Three-legged Crows have been killed. 】
There are 6 left.
Lu Yao continued to stay in the center of the army, waiting for news from the Bingling scouts.
The villagers were very excited about what had happened suddenly. They sent many items, including wheat, dried meat, various fruits and some beeswax.
"Thank you, Lord Houyi, for protecting us!"
"The fields and houses were almost burned down by these suns. Fortunately, Lord Houyi's army was here."
"Please accept these!"
"Lord Houyi, please be careful of the sun!"
…
In their eyes, I am Houyi.
Lu Yao did not refuse, but took the opportunity to chat with different local professionals.
Due to the shortage of food during this era, people were mainly divided into two professions: hunters and farmers. On top of these two pillars, a small number of stonemasons and weavers emerged. Basically, everyone had to know a little bit about everything.
The leader Houyi is the only prophet and diviner among the people, and the bridge between man and God.
In that one city, altars and statues dedicated to the Emperor of Heaven were built.
Di Jun is the supreme god recognized by the people here, and is also the emperor of heaven who controls the sun and the moon.
People worshipped the Emperor of Heaven, and Houyi presided over the worship ceremony and conveyed the divine will of Emperor Jun.
Except Houyi, no one has ever seen the Emperor of Heaven.
The statue built in the city was also very blurry. It was just a crude stone sculpture resembling a human figure, painted with red dye all over, which looked a bit weird.
Lu Yao thought about it and it seemed that he didn’t need to think too much.
Just kill the sun.
The sun rose and set, and two days later, the soldier spirit supervising Fuso at the seaside sent back the information as soon as possible.
"Five suns are leaving the overlapping area together and flying towards the southwest!"
Malik immediately mobilized his soldiers and began to block the Three-Legged Crows.
Unlike before, this time the suns dispersed quickly. Some lingered and hovered on the sea, some rushed into the sky over inland rivers, and some seemed to be stuck at the border of the world, remaining still there.
The crusade against the Three-Legged Crow was carried out in an orderly manner from far to near.
Malik became the empowered commander of the entire army.
Lu Yao led a team of 100 men and rushed to the sea.
The soldier spirits connected to each other and formed a celestial dog, which carried him all the way to the sea and sky in the east.
Lu Yao finally saw the legendary Fusang sacred tree.
A huge black pillar rose from the sea surface, with ten branches extending into the sky, pointing in different directions. The end of each branch was a black mist shaped like the sun.
Lu Yao did not see any panel prompts, indicating that this thing was not a prop or a life.
The structure of the Fusang sacred tree reminded him of the bronze sacred tree and the Nine Grain Pillars.
The Nine Grain Pillars built by the Dragon Clan on the land of China also have nine Golden Crows guarding each branch. They are nine different passages, each pointing to a world.
There is a certain degree of similarity between the two, except that the hibiscus tree has more branches.
Could it be that Di Jun is from the dragon clan? Lu Yao thought to himself.
That's not right.
Given the dragon race's proud character, if there was such a powerful Heavenly Emperor, there would surely be legends about this.
Among the people related to the dragon clan, such as Cancong, they mentioned the Azure Dragon with an excellent reputation, the Yellow Dragon of Kunlun, the powerful Zhulong of Longxu, the Blood Dragon of the Sinner... but they never talked about this one.
None of the parties seemed to consider it their own.
Lu Yao was visiting Fuso at sea, while the battle on Malik's side was in full swing.
The falcon is continuously reporting on the battle on the front line.
"Report to the Marshal, we have blocked the southwest and controlled the target."
…
"We have eliminated the three-legged crows over the southwest river."
…
"Reporting to the Marshal, the three-legged crows in the western mountains have been wiped out."
…
Three days later, all five wandering suns were killed.
Lu Yao felt that this copy was not very difficult.
This is definitely a gift from Song Shiyi to me, so I have to remember this favor.
He also got feedback confirmation from the simulator.
【8/9 of the Three-legged Crows have been killed.】
Houyi shot down nine suns, but the last one did not come out.
The Army of Soldiers and Spirits has searched this trial world thoroughly but has found no trace of the ninth three-legged crow.
Given the size of the Three-Legged Crow and the external solar phenomena it causes, it cannot be hidden at all. Once it appears, it will fly and cause large areas to fall into extreme high temperatures.
Then there is only one possibility.
The last three-legged crow is still in [Fusang].
Hiding?
Then let’s fight our way in! Lu Yao ordered Malik to march towards the Fusang sacred tree.
The two teams entered the black tree-like structure on the sea one after another. Not long after, a huge fireball flew out from it, causing the temperature of the surrounding sea surface to rise suddenly.
The three-legged crow seemed to sense the extreme danger and wanted to escape from it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't know that there is a tight net outside.
As soon as the Three-legged Crow came out, it was pounced on and bitten by the [Tengu] outside, and the [Disarmament] provided by the [Bimanzhi] made it lose the power to resist. It was bitten to pieces and fell, burning a large area of the sea and making it boil.
【Three-legged Crow 9/9 has been killed. 】
However, Lu Yao did not receive any notification of the end or reward.
Logically speaking, Houyi shot down nine suns and left one.
No, what's going on now? Why is it still stuck?
Lu Yao waited for a long time, but there was no follow-up.
The trial is not over yet.
So the question is, what part is missing? Malik said: "There is nothing else in the overlapping area of [Fusang]. It is a small space inside, and there is no way to hide or conceal other objects."
It took the soldiers in to check, and found nothing mysterious inside.
Lu Yao remembered a hint.
——This space is a place of out-of-control chaos, affected and distorted by unknown forces...
This shows that there are subtle differences between this place and the original Houyi shooting down the sun. In other words, Houyi may have made some modifications and adjustments.
So Lu Yao turned his gaze upwards.
The tenth sun hanging in the sky looks very normal.
It also has a health bar.
According to the legendary script, this last sun should be preserved and allowed to operate normally. But considering that they are originally a regular complex transformed from the sun of the virtual universe...
Without these fakes and unstable disasters, the sun would still rise as usual on the land of China.
All evil must be eradicated.
Lu Yao locked onto the target, and this time he personally operated the [Concord], using the [Virtual Track Armament] to aim at the tenth three-legged crow and fire! The tenth golden crow was reduced to ashes.
The false sun is dead, but the real sun behind it is still hanging high.
【10/9 of the Three-legged Crows have been killed. 】
The line of text turned green.
Sure enough, there was a reaction! Before Lu Yao could be happy, new subtitles appeared in front of him.
【Warning, warning! 】
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Emperor Jun is approaching you. For your safety, please try to avoid him as soon as possible.]
[Please survive Di Jun's attack for 60 minutes. The countdown begins. ]
【Countdown: 60:00. 】
If you fail, you will be punished by beating Di Jun. If you want to successfully pass the entire trial, you have to fight Di Jun again. In short, there is no way to avoid this Emperor of Heaven.
Lu Yao felt a faint excitement in his heart.
Now we can see how powerful the Emperor of Heaven who created ten suns and the ancient god who is as famous as Yan and Huang are.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and balls of lightning began to appear. These lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds at the top and intertwined with each other to form some kind of light flow totem covering the sky.
Then, the sky seemed to split open, and flashes of light struck the earth, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to shake.
A broad hand shaped like a small mountain slowly stretched out from the ground. It was made entirely of stone. Then there was a head made of the same stone structure. There were no eyes, ears, mouth or nose on the face, only four deep holes.
Lu Yao noticed that this monster did not crawl out from the ground, but was condensed from the stones and soil on the land, like some kind of three-dimensional projection.
It is somewhat similar to a virtual image.
Lu Yao ordered: "Attack with all your strength! Destroy Di Jun!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Malik immediately commanded his soldiers to launch a strong attack. The 100-man team of [Soldiers] cooperated with the front-line soldiers and spirit warriors to launch a full-scale attack on Di Jun.
Lu Yao could only see the other party’s name [Emperor of Heaven] Di Jun, and everything else was just question marks.
However, the butterfly symbol of the [Ethereal Key] in his hand emitted a faint glow.
[Concord: Suspicious target "Di Jun" discovered, risk assessment is "Immortal Level."]
[Concorde: Continuing evaluation...]
Under the inspection of the virtual spirit, he obtained some new information.
…
【Emperor】Di Jun【Chaos】【Weakness】
HP:? ? Mana:? ? Damage:? Defense:? Speed:? [Old God Curse LV99]
【Immortal】
【Ten Days in the Sky】
It can create and assemble ten "Three-Legged Crows" made of the sun, which can release the high amount of heat generated by its own operation and use it to cause damage.
【Life Crucible】
Collect various life forms, recast and reorganize them, select new forms and types, and adapt and evolve to different environments.
…
【godhead】:?
【Divinity】：?
【Divine Body】:?
…
The situations of Di Jun and Tai Sui are highly similar.
They all have the [Furnace of Life].
All capabilities cannot be viewed, only some features are displayed.
Only then did Lu Yao know.
Those ten three-legged crows are part of Emperor Jun himself - it is no problem to say that they are his sons. These ten three-legged crows are like the radiator of this Emperor of Heaven, which can discharge heat to the world.
The confused three-legged crow began to fly out of control.
This is somewhat similar to the fate of Tai Sui.
It’s just that Tai Sui was wandering in the virtual universe, while Di Jun was once in the real universe - or in other words, he was able to appear in the real universe through projection and exert his influence.
Emperor Jun is also an immortal.
The [Concorde] in the air and the [Soldiers] and Soldier Spirits on the ground are not stable enough.
Lu Yao summoned the [Judge] with his other hand.
The virtual image of this truth-level virtual spirit was projected into the sky, and countless black lines were entangled to form the huge, laughing human head from before.
[The Judge] is not much different from the image of Xu Zhou.
But inside the world with higher precision, its appearance, like a giant balloon, is even more absurd and weird.
Below the neck are white corridors extending in all directions, changing shape and floating like living things.
Lu Yao directly activated the [Ring of Truth] to attack Di Jun! The [Judgment] spit out a misty smoke ring from its huge mouth, covering the Emperor who was trying to get up from the ground.
Huge cracks suddenly appeared on the body of the mud and stone giant on the ground. It staggered, and its body continued to shatter and slide, like an ice man struggling in magma, collapsing and breaking.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Yao suddenly understood.
The person Houyi really wanted to shoot down was Di Jun.
It's a pity that he didn't do it at the beginning.
The [Houyi Shooting the Sun] copy is just an introduction.
The real test is to face Di Jun.
However, the battle was not over.
Lu Yao saw it clearly.
After the power of [Ring of Truth] disappeared, Di Jun's mountain-like body condensed from the ground again.
Facing the overwhelming attack of soldiers and spirits, its movements were cold and mechanical, as if it had no emotions and was not afraid of any harm.
Red light burst out from the four holes on Di Jun's head and shot straight into the sky.
Stone balls emerged from the clouds. They seemed to be awakened. Their surfaces turned red and shrank, as if they had opened countless red eyes.
Countless red lights descended from the stone eyeball, frantically bombarding and cutting the ground, and fighting fiercely with the soldier spirits.
Lu Yao is ready to go.
After all, he is an immortal.
But this time Lu Yao is ready to fight to the end.
Let’s see if I, the Houyi of the new era, can shoot down the Emperor of Heaven of the old times!
